Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a display portion including a display screen; a main body portion including an upper surface and a bottom surface facing each other; and a coupling portion to couple the display portion with the main body portion such that the display portion becomes rotatable between a first state where the display screen faces the upper surface and a second state where the display screen forms a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface, the main body portion including a pair of side surfaces that are orthogonal to the bottom surface and face each other, and a first connector that is provided on one of the pair of side surfaces while being connectable with a first external connector, the first connector including a lower surface which is substantially flush with the bottom surface, the display portion including a first leg portion that protrudes to be positioned lower than the bottom surface in the second state and comes into contact with a placement surface on which the main body portion is placed to form a predetermined tilt of the bottom surface with respect to the placement surface.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a position of the lower surface of the first connector and a position of the bottom surface in a thickness direction orthogonal to the bottom surface are substantially the same.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the main body portion includes a second leg portion rotatably provided on the bottom surface thereof, and wherein the second leg portion is rotatable between a first rotational position at which the second leg portion is apart from the placement surface in the second state and a second rotational position at which the second leg portion comes into contact with the placement surface in the second state and supports the main body portion in a state where the first leg portion floats from the placement surface.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the main body portion has a dented portion that is provided in the vicinity of the coupling portion and capable of accommodating the second leg portion at the first rotational position formed on the bottom surface thereof.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the first connector is a connector for supplying a video signal to an external display.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the main body portion further includes a second connector provided closer to a front side than the first connector, the front side being opposite to a side including the coupling portion, and wherein a size of the second connector in the thickness direction of the main body portion is smaller than a size of the first connector.
7. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a display portion including a display screen; a main body portion including an upper surface and a bottom surface facing each other; and a coupling portion to couple the display portion with the main body portion such that the display portion becomes rotatable between a first state where the display screen faces the upper surface and a second state where the display screen forms a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface, the main body portion including a second leg portion rotatably provided on the bottom surface of the main body portion, a pair of side surfaces that are orthogonal to the bottom surface and face each other, and a first connector that is provided on one of the pair of side surfaces while being connectable with a first external connector, the first connector including a lower surface being substantially flush with the bottom surface, the second leg portion being rotatable between a first rotational position at which the second leg portion is apart from a placement surface on which the main body portion is placed in the second state and a second rotational position at which the second leg portion comes into contact with the placement surface in the second state and supports the main body portion in a state where the display portion floats from the placement surface.
8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a position of the lower surface of the first connector and a position of the bottom surface in a thickness direction orthogonal to the bottom surface are substantially the same.
9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the main body portion has a dented portion that is provided in the vicinity of the coupling portion and capable of accommodating the second leg portion at the first rotational position formed on the bottom surface thereof.
10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the display portion includes a first leg portion that protrudes to be positioned lower than the bottom surface in the second state and comes into contact with the placement surface to form a predetermined tilt angle, the predetermined tilt being smaller than a tilt formed by the second leg portion.
11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first connector is a connector for supplying a video signal to an external display.
12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the main body portion further includes a second connector provided closer to a front side than the first connector, the front side being opposite to a side including the coupling portion, and wherein a size of the second connector in the thickness direction of the main body portion is smaller than that of the first connector.
13. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a display portion including a display screen; a main body portion including an upper surface and a bottom surface facing each other; and a coupling portion to couple the display portion with the main body portion such that the display portion becomes rotatable between a first state where the display screen faces the upper surface and a second state where the display screen forms a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface, the main body portion including a pair of side surfaces that are orthogonal to a bottom surface and face each other, a second connector that is provided on one of the pair of side surfaces while being connectable with a second external connector and includes a terminal portion, provided on one of the pair of side surfaces, to be connected to the second external connector, and a cover that is retractable in a direction towards the bottom surface, the display portion including a first leg portion that protrudes to be positioned lower than the bottom surface in the second state and comes into contact with a placement surface on which the main body portion is placed to form a predetermined tilt of the bottom placement surface so that the cover is openable.
14. The electronic apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the cover has an L-shaped cross section for covering a lower surface of the second connector and the terminal portion of the second connector.
15. The electronic apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein, when the cover of the second connector is closed, a position of a lower surface of the cover and a position of the bottom surface in a thickness direction orthogonal to the bottom surface are substantially the same.
16. The electronic apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the main body portion includes a second leg portion rotatably provided on the bottom surface of the main body portion, and wherein the second leg portion is rotatable between a first rotational position at which the second leg portion is apart from the placement surface in the second state and a second rotational position at which the second leg portion comes into contact with the placement surface in the second state and supports the main body portion in a state where the first leg portion floats from the placement surface.
